McCafferty drinking in a Scottish pub and bitching about missing the Kirov, just to overhear a drunk Norwegian diesel skipper tell a story about sinking her is a wonderful part of that book. The part where he talks about Chicago saving them from the escorts by blind firing a Harpoon cracks me up.

You get a lot of experience working and dismantling networks as… Governor of South Dakota?

Noem: “We are hoping…we will get more and more information about the network and how we can route them out and eliminate them from the existence of American society…Antifa is just as sophisticated as MS-13, as TDA, as ISIS, as Hezbollah, as Hamas, as all of them. They are just as dangerous.”

Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

It's difficult at times to hold both "this admin is doing lasting and serious damage to our institutions and the globe" and "this admin is full of the most bafflingly incompetent idiots you've ever seen who fall over themselves like a Vaudeville act constantly."

The duality of man is incredible.

I actually think our best play is to pretend not to understand the sombrero thing and be unbothered by it, make them explain it or make more plain what they're saying

Memes serve as a tool of dark participation and are used purposefully “to disrupt, undermine, attack, resist or reappropriate discursive positions pertaining to public affairs narratives in the news” (Peters & Allan, 2021, pp. 2–3)

Doing counterintelpro but telling everyone. Also this means you have the opportunity to run a double in the AG’s office or at least use them for offensive counter intelligence.

Obviously not the main point here, but it's interesting how this is framed as content rather than policy.

"BREAKING" is typically what journalists or influencers say when they have a big story -- not what government officials say when they launch "undercover" operations
